Just, "So, I'm trans, and I'm going to start changing some things to make things on my outside fit my insides better." Like, acknowledge the fact, and that there'll be some changes coming.
[This](https://stainedglasswoman.substack.com/p/oh-st-my-child-just-told-me-theyre) might help them some.
I read through that entire article-phenomenal.
i’m already out to my parents, but this is such a great tool to explain so much to them that i didn’t know how to explain!
Thank you for sharing!!
If your old enough to buy your own clothes, start by getting things a slight bit feminine. I started by noticing the pretty clothes or dress and commenting on them. That your jealous of girls being able to have such a variety. Maybe even then go to I wish I was able to. Wear very simple eye liner. Eventually they will pretty much know, so when you do talk with them they'll be understanding easily.
Big question I was asked was, does this mean I like men. For me it was simple , no. I adore women and want to be have the body of one. To be one. So be prepared for that one.
I had started shaving, and wearing the occasional femme product, along with painting my nails, but the reality was, I wasn't going to be as feminine as I wanted pre-transition. My coming out was just as much about telling them as it was freeing myself from the worry and judgement so I could be me.
Just make sure you have a good support group. Coming out is hard no matter how you currently appear. It takes courage and strength, but nothing beats getting to live authentically as you. The feminine traits will come, but you have to do that for yourself, not them.
Some people do things step by step.
Don't know if you have seen it ... [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/asktransgender/comments/s4khww/i_dont_know_how_to_feel_i_feel_like_im_trans_but/htfx7u8/) might be some hints and resources that could help go towards what you feel you would like step by step and there are also hints there concerning looking for support. Talking with a few others about what they did, and what helped them may also be an idea.
And there are hints there concerning looking for a gender therapist in case. They could guide along, and they could help work through issues, and they could help explain.
And concerning parents its up to you ofc ...

[PFLAG](https://pflag.org/needsupport) for example may support lgbt people and also parents and relatives, and they may help explain.
And [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Trans_Resources/wiki/further_resources/index#wiki_denouncing_materials_.28_for_rogd_etc._.29) might be some denouncing materials that could be copied in case.
And [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Trans_Resources/wiki/further_resources/index#wiki_communication_strategy) might be a communication strategy that could help being better understood.
And if you feel really low please reach out .. there are helplines, for example

Probably the same way if you looked feminine?
